You are right. I was thinking of the decline in dairy consumption in the US, which has been decreasing. Per-capita cow's milk consumption has been decreasing for 70 years here:

Meat consumption in the US in fact growing at an alarming rate: https://sentientmedia.org/meat-consumption-in-the-us
Consumers are not reducing their meat consumption. Instead meat consumption is increasing:

> As a global average, per capita meat consumption has increased approximately 20 kilograms since 1961; the average person consumed around 43 kilograms of meat in 2014. This increase in per capita meat trends means total meat production has been growing at a much faster than the rate of population growth.
As is production:
